Everybody chokesWhen they see someone cut down in their primeIt may not show when you look at meBut I know I'm in mineI'm potent, baby, I'm potentDangerous to the naked eyeRest your head on this bed of mother's prideAnd find out why

Don't you want to take me home?Don't you want to take me home?

[Chorus]Give me a sense of purposeA real sense of purpose nowGive me a sense of purposeA real sense of purpose now

Bully boys don't bother meI purse my lips, and they run awayGuys like you who are gentle and trueDon't come around here everydayI'm potent, baby, I'm potentJust one swig of me would get most guys smashedBut a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerveI guess I'm outclassed

Everybody chokesWhen they see someone cut down in their primeTake this plea to your heartLift me in mine
